I'm a big fan of Barney Miller and I got a question about ranks, that's kinda confusing to me.
Speaking of Inspectors, I have a good question.
On an episode of Barney Miller, Inspector Lugar was asked to either retire or become a captain. He was assigned as captain to Captain Barney Miller's precinct (the 1-2).
He stated that he has to take orders now from Captain Miller.
Does he have to follow Miller's orders like the Detective Sgt.'s do? Also, all of the Sgt. Detectives have to be careful talking to him right? I guess they can't fight with them like they sometimes do with each other. I guess Wojo could of had trouble, not that they probably would do it, but he was only Det. III-Grade while the others were all Det Sgt.
Is there different levels of Captains?
Also in some of the episodes, an IAB Lt. kept pushing Cpt. Miller around. Doesn't Miller have any rights over him, being he's technically of higher rank?
